Jimmy Buffett, who has likely grossed more than $25 million (by conservative estimates) from the Cincinnati market over the past 25 years, isn't done yet.

The troubadour, who has turned the beach bum persona into his Margaritaville entertainment corporation, is asking $128 (plus service charges ...

Demographics would have something to do with it. Buffett attracts an older, and presumably wealthier, crowd than Pearl Jam or Dave Mathews.

After purchasing the amount of drugs it takes to fry your brain so badly that Pearl Jam or Dave Matthews sound good, there simply isn't much money left for ...

That's twice I've seen "look outside the box." Must be a marketing major. I wanna know who all these people are who are trapped inside boxes???

I thought they were called cubicles.

Not sure what you mean and I am not trying start anything. I just can not rationalize why an artist would charge $126 for a concert ticket. If it's for a charity event etc...hey, I am all for it. However, it does bother me when artists gouge the public as I feel Jimmy is doing. I do not see why he ...

For those that are saying the Venue sets the prices, then how come one artist can top out at $55 and another $126. Please do not say because they will sell more tickets...Please..Both Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews will sell the same of tickets amount as Jimmy...

Please look outside the box for once

My biggest gripe is that not only are the ticekts $126, but that those tickets, at least some of them are not that great. For example, in Phoenix, Section 204 Rox XX were $126..Now I can see maybe the Pitt being that much or even Center Orch etc...however come on, second level back on the right ...

Has Pearl Jam been performing over 30 years? :wink:
How come Springsteen's top ticket was $75, Billy Joel top ticket is $75, Neil Diamond tops out around $70 etc....

Give me a break with that argument.

:D Big John, the ticket prices are set by the venue and not by the performer. The Venue sets the price based on what the performer charges to do the show.

High price to performer = high ticket prices!
